Customers of EMBARK DNA tests order these tests through the website of Utrecht University while giving consent for the use of test results for scientific research. Results are shared with Utrecht University 4-6 times per year. Further Utrecht University obtains a portal from EMBARK where test results can be seen and interpreted and genetic counseling can be offered to customers with regard to interpretation of these tests. The intended way of working must meet at least the following functional requirements: • A SNP panel of at least 75.000 genetic markers to be used for genetic association studies • The functionality of calculation of coefficient of inbreeding based on runs of homozygosity with data from a reference database of at least 1.000.000 dogs of different breeds • An accurate algorithm to predict breed percentages • A minimum of 260 DNA tests including relevant tests for our research (i.e. HNPK for the Labrador retriever) • Including a wide range of exterior characteristics (traits) • Providing an administrative portal where results of genetic tests from customers are accessible to researchers of Utrecht University for genetic counseling advise and research purposes Following a market analysis, Utrecht University has determined that only one supplier can deliver the functional requirements as summed up above. The intended direct award is based on Article 2.32 paragraph 1 sub b of the Dutch Procurement Act 2012 (technical reasons – absence of competition for technical reasons).
